“Economics Classes for Future Dreamers” is a corporate social responsibility program by Hyundai Motor Securities, carried out under its vision of “Sustainability Through Togetherness” (▲ Growing together with future generations ▲ Thinking together with the socially vulnerable ▲ Thriving together with local communities). Focused on three key areas—future generations, protection, and local communities—the program leverages the characteristics and strengths of the financial industry to provide young people with opportunities for both financial and cultural experiences. Launched last year with about 40 children from childcare facilities in Seoul, the program expanded in its second year to include 57 children from three childcare facilities in Seoul and Hwaseong.
Sparking Enthusiasm Through Interactive Games
On this day, the “Economics Classes for Future Dreamers” program was conducted in three sessions centered on the themes “Understanding Distribution,” “Trade,” and “Creating My Own Corporation.” In the first session, students explored distribution processes using mackerel and mango as practical examples. Through a tanghulu-making activity, they experienced firsthand the differences between direct transactions with farms and market-based trading. The second session introduced fundamental concepts of international trade, allowing students to broaden their understanding through interactive quizzes and trade-related games focused on import and export practices. In the final session, students designed and presented their own mock companies. They took part in simulated investment activities while learning about the differences between employment and entrepreneurship, as well as the advantages of starting a business.
Hyundai Motor Securities’ “Economics Classes for Future Dreamers” is designed to make economics—often perceived as difficult for children—easier to understand through everyday, hands-on experiences. The program not only enhances financial literacy and critical thinking but also broadens career awareness and imagination. At the same time, it fosters teamwork and problem-solving skills, laying a strong foundation for the growth of future generations.
